Publisher's summary

One in a million - that's what widow Stephanie Wynne figured her chances were of finding a man who could help her raise her kids instead of acting like one himself. After experiencing that with her late husband, she was happy to finally be in control of her own life. Sure, it could get a little lonely, but there were ways around that….

FBI negotiator Nash Harmon was trained to be cool and detached in every situation. But when he came to Stephanie's B&B, there was something about her lively family that drew him in, and for the first time in his life he understood why people had ties.

Only Stephanie didn't want ties…at least, not to him. It would be his toughest negotiation, the odds were against him, but somehow Nash would convince her that she had, indeed, found the one.

One In A Million

The narrator was awful. The whiny voice was one that little kids use when they don't get their way. The story of the Haynes brothers by Susan Mallery was great I just wish it had been narrated by someone who I could listen to more than once!

Narration was horrible

I listened to the book before this one, narrated by Therese Plummer, and I really wanted to continue the story, so I downloaded this one.
The narration was just... so wrong. The intonations were all over the place. All of the female voices sounded like they were speaking through fake smiles. Most of the men sounded like teenage girls-- also speaking through fake smiles, and the Texas accents were SO BAD. So, so, so bad.

The story was alright. It definitely continued where the last one left off, but I got so tired of hearing the phrases, "Haynes brothers," and "Haynes men."

Narrator

Where does One in a Million rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Between a score of 1 to 10, qo being the highest, this book scored a 7

Who was your favorite character and why?

Nash, because he sounded very handsome and sexy.

What about Marie Ellis’s performance did you like?

The story line is good, but the voice used by the narrator for all the male characters was very confusing at times, because the male voices sounded like the female voices. Also the characters voices for the little boys in this story all sounded like little girls. Could have done a better job.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I got through it because I wanted to know the ending, but narrator was a turn off.

Any additional comments?

None

Susan good, 2nd book not so...

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I always enjoy Susan Mallery's book, but the second book was hard to finish. The second book story was weak, and I didn't care at all for the narrator.

I would have given the first book a 4 Star but the second book really made me wish I didn't purchase. I will make sure I don't buy a double book again.

Poor narration-nearly monotone

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Too monotone, I think I would have kept the book had the voice been more interesting to listen to.

Narrator was really bad

Would you consider the audio edition of One in a Million to be better than the print version?

The book was OK, but the narrator ruined it. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Her voices for the kids was like nails on a blackboard, and the one she used for Nash's boss was an insult to Long Islanders (I think that's what she was TRYING to sound like).

Glad I took a chance

If you could sum up One in a Million in three words, what would they be?

I read a lot of negative reviews on this book but I love Susan Mallery and decided to purchase it anyway. I am glad I did. The second book is not as good as the first but I found it easy to listen to and enjoyed.

What did you like best about this story?

Easy listening and good characters.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Marie Ellis?

Not unless I loved the author
